Whether you are looking to start your first online business or for a way to add to your current business, starting a Service Based Business could be the answer!
A Service Based Business owner provides a service. Some examples include:
- Virtual Assistance
- Graphic Design
- Blog Set-Up
- Writing
- Marketing Services
- And more
Here are 5 reasons that you should consider starting a Service Based Business:
- You can make an extra $500 per month, by working just 5 hours per week! Let’s face it, if you’re looking for extra income, I’m sure that you are looking for a way to make a nice amount without working the hours of another full-time job. With a service based biz, you can easily make an extra $500 per month, by charging $25 per hour, and working just 5 hours per week from home. (I know many service based biz owners who charge much more than $25 per hour!)
- You get to work around your schedule! Who doesn’t love that part? I used the example of working an extra 5 hours per week above, so we’ll use that again. You can get up an hour earlier than your family or stay up an hour later, Monday – Friday. Or you can work a couple hours on Saturday and just a few during the week. You get to work around your schedule!
- You can work with online clients AND offline business owners! The Internet is huge and you can certainly find a lot of clients to work with online, but don’t forget about the business owners in your own hometown! They need people to help them learn how to blog, people to take control of their social media, etc. Read this post where I explain more about working with local business owners.
- You don’t have to put a lot of money in it to get started. If you’re looking to make extra money, you probably don’t have a lot of money laying around to put into a business. You can start a service based biz for next to nothing. (under $20 for a domain name and web hosting!)
- You don’t need any special degrees. You don’t need to go to school for years and earn a degree to provide services for another biz owner. Do you have a skill that these biz owners could use? If you are already marketing your own biz online, if you’ve already set up your own blog, or if you already make your own graphics, you have the skills you need to help others!
